The House.,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-In the morn
ing hour the house proceeded to the consd-
Grafton of the joint resolution authorizing
an investigation of the books, accounts and
methods of the Pacific railroads which have
received aid from the United States. Moth
ing was done. Mr.. Norwood, of Georgia,
| rose to question of privilege in regard to
publication in to-day'S New York World,
in which the name of It. NJ. Norwood ap-
pears i'll connection with the accounts of
the Central Pacific railroad. Last night he
had been waited upon by representative
of that paper, who asked him whether he
had ever represented a claim against the
Central Pacific railway company or the
Union Pacific railroad company-he had
forgotten which. He had replied in the
negative, and his statement had been pub
llshed. Nothing had been said in regard
to the Southern Pacific railroad
company. He presumed he was
the Norwood mentioned in the account. In
1S7S-a year after his senatorial term had
eXpired-he had been engaged by the South
ern Pacific railroad as counsel in contest
between that company and the Texas Pa
cilc company, which ended two years SUBJ
sequently. His services had been rendered
publicly, and the items mentioned in the
World lie presumed to be the fees that wele
paid from time to time upon his regular sal
ary. This was his connection with the case.
How these items appeared in the account of
the Central Pacific company with the
United States lie aid not know. He never
had in any shape any connection with the
Central Pacific or Union Pacific company.

and in return to be loved. In the next
place he wants her for helpmate In
case of sickness who can do more than a
loving wife? When you are sick, Mr..
Bachelor, wife comes in mighty handy.
In health all are your friends. but in

you suddenly, as she may do. you will
know how to get your hubby decent bite

been gathering interest in vague stories
that natural child of the prince imperial

stories have taken foot till now their COM
plete publication is only matter of day

the fact that no money is demanded or ap
parently desired, and the effort is continu-

school mistress in Australia. Her docu-
ments are in the care of Mr.. Reynolds, ali
English solicitor here, and consist of two
letters and two kilograms, the former I'M
mistakably in the princes handwriting,
but they refer only to trifling questions and

reason to believe important interviews are
